Two Coaches & a Coffee

Ever wondered how top-tier sports teams maintain their edge? Discover the secrets behind cohesive staffing and unified team direction in our latest episode of Two Coaches and a Coffee. We kick off by sharing lessons from our visits to various football and rugby clubs, revealing why money isn't always the key to success. Instead, it's the skilled and context-aware practitioners who make the difference. Listen as we unpack the challenges larger departments face in staying connected and aligned, and how effective leadership can balance individual autonomy with the overall team vision.
As we continue, we delve into the complexities of consultancy within the sports industry, shedding light on the importance of supporting staff to maintain a cohesive environment. Learn about the intricacies of hiring for senior roles and the pitfalls of overly layered management structures, particularly in U.S. colleges, which can stifle responsibility and decision-making. We also share exciting developments in facility ownership and the personal challenges of balancing professional responsibilities while on the road. Don't miss our memorable moment with Dave Carroll, and the laughs over a Guinness, as we round off another insightful and engaging conversation.
